Hi Everyone,
Thought you'd all like to know about this upcoming Biodiversity
Informatics course, offered to Nordic graduate students, postdocs, and
researchers.
Kilpisjärvi calling: Order and Sense to Your Data at the Polar Frontier
ForBio: proudly presents the first-time-ever course on biodiversity
informatics and data management
*More info:*
http://www.forbio.uio.no/events/courses/2014/biodiv_informatics.html
*When:* 29 July -1 August 2014
*Where:* Kilpisjärvi Biological Station, University of Helsinki, Finland
http://www.helsinki.fi/kilpis/english/
*What:* A course for Nordic graduate students, postdocs, and researchers
which explores data tools beyond MS Excel and R! What are the modern,
efficient, mistake-proof ways to collect and manage field and lab data,
identifiers, traits, and environmental variables? How can you store your
data to easily integrate with external databases? This course covers
basics of data collecting and data management but leaves out data
analysis to other courses.
*How much:* No course fee. Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, or Finnish PhD
students and postdocs are encouraged to join ForBio - the Research
School in Biosystematics, since members are reimbursed for
course-related travel costs and accommodation in shared rooms and food
at Kilpisjärvi Station. ForBio may also support masters students
registered at Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, or Finnish universities who
provide compelling evidence that they need the course for their thesis
work. ForBio will not cover any expenses (e.g., food, travel, or
accommodation costs) for other participants who have to be registered as
ForBio associates to attend the course.
Please pass along to any who might be interested in taking the course --
or developing a similar one.
Best,
Deb
